Method to Clear RDP Adjustment from Client Matter File When you Want to Avoid Unposting Invoice

To “clear” the RDP amount created by the adjustment on the file, go to AR Manager, click on New and enter a RDS transaction (for the same amount as the RDP) to that Client-Matter to reduce the unapplied retainer amount. (This entry would decrease the operating account and decrease your unapplied cash account in the General Ledger).

Do an offsetting entry in AR Manager using Action > Miscellaneous Cash, and enter the distribution line to hit the Client Advances Written Off account. (This entry would debit (increase) operating and credit (decrease) the Client Advances Written Off account).

In Deposit Processing, find that Miscellaneous Cash entry, right click on it, and assign it a dummy bank rec number like 100 so that it does not hit Bank Reconciliation.

Note you want to put good notes on the entry to show why you are doing these steps. Keep in mind if you run a Billed Disbursements Analysis report after using this method, it will still show the Client Advance as being written down at the time of billing; however, your overall totals for the Client Advances Written Off account will have been corrected properly.
